[QUOTE="aboyd, post: 4399875, member: 44797"] The Magic domain, Luck domain, and Travel domain are all good regardless of setting. I personally like the Charm domain on page 63 of the FR book, because I like playing characters who do diplomacy and persuasion. If you don't like that, it's not a good choice to take. If you will be in a campaign that makes heavy use of werewolves or other lycanthropes, the Moon domain is essential, because it lets you turn them like undead. Similar benefits come from the Scalykind, Spider, & Slime domains. The Time domain is just awesome, IMHO. I use every spell it grants and appreciate the free Improved Initiative feat. However, there are only 2 gods that grant that domain (compared to lots of gods granting the Charm domain) so that might limit what your 2nd domain will be (assuming you're getting your powers from the gods and will be limiting yourself to their domains). Lastly, the Tyranny domain is wicked. Unfortunately, you have to worship evil gods to get it. But if you do, couple it with a spell focus feat on enchantment spells. What you end up with is +3 to your save DC for compulsion spells such as Hold Person & Command. This starts to make your caster rather "hard to resist." ;) (I like that because I hate seeing "Will negates" in the saving throw area, which basically means your round was worthless if the enemy saves. But that tiny +3 really helps your spells to work more often.) [/QUOTE]
